So you Made the Cut

January is usually the time we start cutting and cleaning up our social media connections, subscriptions, emails etc.

Have you looked at your own email subscription list and thought I need to cut some of those they are just cluttering my email box. Maybe you received an email recently about your LinkedIn groups and they let you know they are scaling you down since you haven’t used them. Have you started un-friending friends on facebook or Business Pages you are not involved in to remove the clutter. Could be even networking events you are determining whether you want to continue attending or not…

Just as you are looking at your venues to see if they are worth your investment of time, so are those connected to you.

What sets your business apart and helps you make the cut you ask?

Great content (not all fluff and funnies)

Different types of information ( variety is the spice of life)

Valuable information (educational)

They know you

They trust you

They Like you personally

You built a relationship with them

Engagement with your connections

Bringing something positive to their day

NOT broadcasting sale after sale after sale

Questions to ask yourself when determining when to cut or keep

Do I find value in the information

Am I receiving the same information in more than one venue

Could I invest my time more wisely

Does it help me in my business in any way

Is it something I am passionate about

Think it through clearly and you will probably be making some cuts just like I have.

Wishing you much success with your time management.
